Hisashi Otsuka Whispering Butterflies
13 May 2022
Description

This appears to be a Hisashi Otsuka painting called Whispering Butterflies HC 11/25. I'm unsure of what type of canvas it is painted/printed on. It appears to be mixed media of some sort. Was found in a house I recently purchased

Dimensions

35 x 24 inches - 43.875 x 33.125 inches framed

Provenance

Was purchased in a home after the owner died. There are two pieces by this artist, but this second is some sort of lithograph or print, whereas this one looks much nicer and is from a smaller series.

What does this mean?

Dear Coy,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.

The presented object appears to be a print on canvas with unknown measurements. The print has the title "Whispering Butterflies" and was made by Hisashi Otsuka (Japanese, b.1947). The artwork has the edition HC II/25.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. 
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 200 to 400 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards, 

George
